New to this forum, so I am not sure this is where to post my question, but here it goes! :-)

Is any one familiar with the Rewards programs out there, such as Mypoints, Freeride and others? These sites pay a percentage of what they make from there affiliates to there members. They award you points, which you can spend when you reach a certain amount.

After visiting one of there sponsors, your account is automatically updated with the points. I need to know what software they use, to do this?

Once you sign up with one of these programs, your receive points for clicking on banners. As soon as you click on a banner, your account is updated with the points, which you see immediately on the screen. I want to know how they do this?

Also, when you log into the site, it tells you how many points you have in your account. I would like to know how that is done?

I could post a site here, but you will have to join the program to see what I am referring to. Hopefully, you will understand what I have just typed!!
